So although visiting Italy for my uncle Robert's funeral was sad, the upside was that I got to spend some time with family. One particular highlight was seeing Larry's new "project". He bought an old estate, I think it was built in the 16th or 17th century. He's not entirely sure what he's going to do with it, but he'll be restoring it and developing it for sure, probably as a hotel or something similar. There were some party invitations to balls and stuff dating back to 1785 and onwards, just lying around...pretty cool!
Some pretty cool paintwork in this room, a beautiful old wardrobe....
and a secret doorway into another room....how cool is that!
Here's another feature, a wardrobe on the other side of the room...with another secret entrance to another room....awesome!
An old military rife with Bayonet that he inherited....well you do need security!
The wine cellar, how many glasses of wine has this cellar put out over the years?
A collection of the old wine jars....
And one lonely little jar all on his own.
The outside of the newer extension, don't ask me how much newer, it's still probably older than Canada.
and older than this little gem. Can anyone say retro?
So this is Italian style...what era I wonder?
More shots of the outside, see the fountain on the side of thewall? Cool.
Larry pointing out one of the many fruit trees....I think this is a fig tree?
